The Big Gay Out Marketplace will feature more than 100 stalls, with information, locally produced and specialty products, and an abundance of food, snacks and refreshments.

The Dance Zone returns with more space, a larger bar, more platforms to dance and more performances. The legendary Urge Bear Garden is also back with a big bar and shady chill-out zone. Bar areas are R18.

Catch the air-conditioned Family Bar Party Bus to Coyle Park and avoid the hassle of finding a car park. The Party Bus will shuttle back and forth from Family Bar, stopping at the corner of Williamson Avenue and Ponsonby Roads, every 20 minutes from 11.30am to 8.00pm.

The Ending HIV Big Gay Out is organised by the team at the New Zealand AIDS Foundation. Please make sure you donate on the day!
